Metropolitan Music and Arts Ministries

The Metropolitan Music & Arts Ministry (MM&AM) is an aggregation of psalmists who, through employing the Word of God in song, instrumentation, and creative movement, fulfill our divine calling to reach the lost, uplift the broken, and encourage the saved. Each member is committed to standing firmly on the frontline of battle as praise warriors leading the people of God into the presence of God!

Each week psalmists ranging from four years old to senior saints share their talents of music and art to provide the Metropolitan church and visitors with a vibrant worship experience under the divine direction of the Holy Spirit.  The Ministry expands its reach outside the four walls of the church through its Concert Series that brings quality inspirational arts programming to the Metropolitan area.

We recognize music and the arts are a divinely appointed universal language that has the power to reach all people. The ministry is composed of three divisions – Youth, Arts, and Vocal.  Psalmists are supported by a gifted and creative director and musician team as well as dedicated administrative and support staff.

Psalmists are called to serve.  The ministry holds New Psalmist Orientation periodically throughout the year to assist members in understanding their calling. This multi-week process includes Bible study, the roles and responsibilities of psalmists, the examination of spiritual practices, and principles related to music and the arts in worship. 

Excellence is a standard every time we stand to minister through dance, stepping, playing an instrument, or directing or singing a song.  We encourage all who are called to share their musical and artistic gifts and wish to join this throng of psalmists to contact ministry leaders at musicandarts@metropolitanbaptist.org.
